pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 So long story short. I used to have a getrag 260 in my e30 race car, Replaced it with a 240 and kept the same driveshaft. Because the driveshaft was too short it fouled on the selector leaver when selecting 2nd. I just bought a 240 driveshatf off forrest, swaped hanger bearings over and that driveshaft is too long. The 260 shaft front half when bolted to the gearbox is 50mm too short for the hanger bearing to bolt up. The 240 shaft front half when bolted to the gearbox is 50mm too long for the hanger bearing to bolt up. Is there another driveshaft that is in the middle??? or is something completely up the shoot? Any help apreciated. For those who dont know its a pfl 325i with a getrag 240 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 sounds like you got the 240 shaft from a 318i not a 320i , as the m40 engine sits further forward in the engine bay than the M20 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
